Heaven Bound Balloons - Granger Smith

I saw them sittin' with their legs crossed in the backyard

The kids had magic markers writing on balloons

They let one go and watched it sail above the treetops

So I went outside to see what they were doin'

They said «Daddy we’ve been sending notes to grandpa»

I just smiled, sat down, and said «Mind if I join ya?

We wrote we miss you and we love you

Told him things are great down here

We spelled it out and sent it up

And we watched it disappear

Sometimes I guess you gotta see it to believe it

'Cause right then I knew those blue sky prayers were gettin' through

When we let go of those heaven bound balloons

Before we knew I swear we made at least a dozen

One for everyone we wished were here but wasn’t

There was a red one for our Labrador named Rio

And a blue one to Miss Ruth who used to live just down the road

We wrote we miss you and we love you

Told him things are great down here

We spelled it out and sent it up

And we watched it disappear

Sometimes I guess you gotta see it to believe it

'Cause right then I knew those blue sky prayers were gettin' through

When we let go of those heaven bound balloons

Woah-woah, woah-woah

Woah-woah, woah

Yeah, I know I’ll be sittin' up there one day

Don’t forget to send a couple of them my way

Say we miss you and we love you

Tell me things are great down here

Just spell it out and send it up

And watch it disappear

Sometimes I guess you gotta see it to believe it

'Cause right then I knew those blue sky prayers were gettin' through

When we let go of those heaven bound balloons

Let go of those heaven bound balloons

Woah-woah, woah
